Recently, my my mind has been very focused on visual representation of emotion through collage. I have been trying to keep a visual journal, but I find I do not want to use my words. Instead I want to creat beautiful pictures using the images of others. Sometimes I find it very frustrating because I have flashes in my mind of a creation I want to see come to fruition…but the flashes are only of pieces, and when I try to put the image together I find it sorely lacking from its original inspiration.

Other times (like those pictured) I find it only takes a few images to create something that I find truly captivating and inspiring. I have always kept pictures that I like from magazines and now I am looking forward to giving each of them a purpose within my art!
